If I may I think if there really is an issue there (not sure), it's not only the nose, but the area above too, leading to the forehead/eyebrows.

There is. Once Katrina pointed it out it became pretty noticeable to me. He likened it to 'too much plastic surgery' or me having messed with it too much while sculpting, which is probably true - though my focus was on the GODDAMN FUCKING CHEEKS BECAUSE CCP STANDS FOR CAN'T CHEEKBONE PROPERLY RAWR RAGE HISS SPIT

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Oh, good, I'm not the only one who has issues trying to do cheeks and cheekbone structure

I'm actually very happy with Kala's cheeks :P One of the bits of her I really like. That and the lighting in this image. It was just the right amount of soft:



However, I think the character portrait I made that I like the most was this one:



She was made before Carbon was released, on the SiSi engine, so she's not a character I've ever played. Just an experiment. Still, of all the portraits I've made, she sticks with me as one of the most real looking.

Done that, I like how Kala looks. I think the ears look a bit weird, but they always do with what CCP gives us, imho. :) I'd consider another lipstick. All in all, I'd give her a 7.5/10 on the subjective ad-hoc Nico's aesthetic judgment scale. - That's for the red-headed one, I think the blonde one is somewhat below 7, maybe 6.4 or so. Not because of the hair color, though.

Is there any way we can make these images smaller?

It's difficult to judge a portrait when I have to scroll to see the entire thing.

Right click the image, copy link location. Paste the image hyperlink into a new tab or window. You can choose a selection of sizes for direct links to the EVEGate server, assuming they are hosted there instead of imgur or something. The useful sizes are usually in standard doubles of eight.

64x64
128x128
256x256
512x512
1024x1024
... and some other oddly sized ones that don't fit the pattern, mostly used for the EVE website character icons and such.

https:// image.eveonline.com/ Character/92149662_1024.jpg

That spot right there can be swapped out for smaller numbers. The highest resolution I've seen it go has only been 1024. There may be a larger size but I've yet to learn of it.

I think 1024x1024 is the maximum size, as the larger sizes seem always to have the double side length of the preceding smaller sizes and there is apparently no 2048x2048er pic.

Why not...

For your delectation I bring you:

My main Bataav



His uncle (though not yet used for RP in any meaningful sense) Teutonii



Teutonii runs a small corporation. Two members are actually alts with specific functions.

First we have co-Director Zhushou, who I'd like to begin RPing with but haven't worked out any of the details for her yet. That's for a different thread though.



And Nneka Taron who will be getting a resculpt. While this portrait doesn't show it, from the front she has a jawline that rivals Stitcher.

* Havohej clears his throat and takes a deep breath...

[spoiler][/spoiler]

I was a little annoyed that the same super-dramatic lighting isn't available from the opposite side... I wanted to have the scarred/blinded eye in shadow for subtlety, but had to settle for turning it away from the camera.  Glad to get back the facial piercings the original Havo portrait had, though the same tribal pattern was not among the options.

Not a bad avatar generator, though.  gj CCP.

This is a forum on steroids tbh. The rate at which content worth reading is being generated could get you pregnant.

Holy crap, I'm sorry! I'll pay the overdue book fine right away!

Seriously, Nicoletta looks like someone you would not want to mess with! At the same time, she's quite beautiful, and strikes me as someone who probably broke a lot of hearts a few years ago. I'm picturing a younger Helen Mirren from Red...

I think unless you have a collared shirt, you can do tricks by turning both head and body to pont at the same direction and then rotate the full body. (Collars are derp, because they're anchored on the neck, and neck does not turn if body and head are both turned the same direction.) The result can be seen in my current forum avatar. (I think. Mith wears a collared shirt on that pic, but the shadow is definately on the left side. And I have distinct memory of playing with the character creator like that. Mith's old portrait is in set 18 on http://eveportraits.com/)

I decided to tweak Arnulf to match his chibi self's hair colour. Otherwise fairly unchanged.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

After considering the comments made I fiddled with the image a bit more. Oh and I decided to ditch the shades for now.
